IN PERSON TRAININGS: Sometimes we are not able to reserve another year at a certain location, or in an attempt to meet the needs of as many members as possible, we need to change the locations. We hope you try out the different locations!
Trainings will be scheduled at these locations from September through April at 6:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted in the description. All trainings are free if you are a member as long as you bring your green card (except for CPR and first aid). You don't need to pre-register for classes unless otherwise noted in the description.
Please bring your membership card to all of the trainings (or a current picture of it on your phone and photo ID) and arrive 5 to 10 minutes early to sign in. If you arrive more than 10 minutes after the start of class, we cannot give you credit for the training. We are given free use of the facilities for trainings that serve food and beverages. We encourage you to feel free to purchase food and/or beverages at these establishments that serve to ensure continued use of our space.
